Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

Freden, Mado Kingdom.

A godless nation with only two swordsmen, Bernil and the entire continent of Sheheranbard.

There was a heated debate going on since morning.

“If it doesn't evolve in the beginning, it's an unstoppable spread of fire. We must dispatch an army there as soon as possible. ”

“But why are you assembling an army? ”

“What an excuse! ”

Freden is a country on the western border of Geronian. That's why I was the first to hear that there was a slave uprising.

At first, I was busy taunting him when he thought it would happen once.

However, the uprising was successful, breaking everyone's expectations, and the entire lumbar spine of the evil god, the Geronian, was torn apart.

Three days ago, a group called Hematocratic Religion, which appeared like a comet and freed slaves, officially declared that it would take root in Geronian.

That was fine.

I thought they would be better neighbors than the originals, no matter what they had in mind.

Until the Temple was discovered in civilians this morning.

“A magazine full of this nonsense is already roaming around the country! We must punish them quickly! ”

When I came to my senses, the Temple of the Blood Magians was circling the civilians.

They all read the temple.

It was full of obscene, empty text.

He will, too. A living human is a god?

It's a radical Pantheon that turns the origins of existing religions upside down. Moreover, their ideas and ideologies were also a big problem.

They do not acknowledge the king.

Pursuing only freedom, they follow only one person's advocate with free will.

“... Calm down. Unless they were rescued slaves. The rational citizens will not fall for that religion. ”

“But haven't you seen Sir? If they really have the ability to make ordinary people challenging.... ”

“Huh! You believe that? You need a sweet horse to seduce anything. Maybe the Hematoma was made that way, too. ”

“ ……. ”

“You don't need to draw your sword. Why would Geronian follow evil gods in the first place? Because it's a barren land. Someone had to starve to eat well. ”

“ ……. ”

“Let's wait and see. Since we have given root to such a land, soon the hungry will be plunged out, and the hungry will awaken to false thoughts. This is the kind of thing you do without touching your nose. ”

The man who was preaching that we should cut off their sprouts as soon as we started the war was silent.

There was definitely logic in the repeated persuasions.

But what is this unspeakable anxiety engraved deep inside?

Somehow he didn't think this flame would go out so soon.

* * *

The man who set fire to the continent of Seilandbad at that time.

Yoon-suk was thinking about something in the waiting room.

Why do you feel like you're missing something? ’

I felt a strange feeling in my body.

So I pointed out one by one, but no matter how I thought about it, there was no reason to feel like this.

WP, the main objective of the agenda, gathered enough, and the troublesome Asuna, was solved without a problem.

‘Well, it's just the mood. ’

Soon, Yoon-suk opened his eyes after finishing his thought.

I had a lot of work to do, and I couldn't waste any more time.

‘Let's check it out then. ’

Yoon-suk approached the tablet and confirmed what he had gained after killing Asenad.

Explore

Rank S - AP Conversion Daily Limit will disappear.

Rank A - Gains Additional AP when all the opponent's Magical Power is absorbed.

Rank B - Reduces the opponent's Max Magic Power by the amount of Magic Power absorbed.

Rank C - When the amount of horsepower is below 15%, the absorption limit increases to 50% of the maximum horsepower per use.

Rank D - Converts absorbed Magical Power to AP. Up to 200,000 AP per day is possible.

Rank E - Challenger uses magical skills and power to absorb 'on attack'. Absorption per attack can be as high as 10% of max magical power.

Rank F - Satisfaction with Magic Power ≥ 98% and HP and Durability +4.

As Asnatt said, it was a technology with many aspects similar to Predation.

However, there was a slight difference given that only the 'challenger’ could absorb it.

Once inside, you can only get AP. Unlike Predatory, it also contains effects that can be used in combat.

Because of that, Yoon-suk's original predation was much more efficient if he only judged his growth power.

‘No, if you think about the cooldown for a month, that's it. ’

Well, it's a comparison, anyway.

It is clearly a skill that will help you along the way. I had a lot of unique skills to put up, and I didn't always have enough points.

Yoon-suk then checked the looted equipment as well.

Ring of Much Rank SS + Rank.

There were quite a lot of effects, but the main effect was one. The ring can accumulate up to 3x the maximum magical strength of the wearer.

‘It's not bad that the maximum magical power is growing that much. ’

Of course, it wasn't that attractive to Yoon-suk who was kicked with grass for just a few minutes with various types of fraudulent recovery effects.

Perhaps the original owner wore this ring to control the fasting and satiety states freely.

‘It's not urgent, so let's keep this for now. ’

Yoon-suk put the ring on his hand.

We have a long way to go before the duel starts, and we have the Thunder God Necklace.

Unless there's something we need to do right now.

First of all, it was better to have it.

‘By the way, we're finally putting it up. ’

Soon after checking the equipment, Yoon-suk manipulated the tablet again.

Thanks to the small amount of AP from Killian, we gathered 19 million AP, even though we didn't go on any missions.

With this money, you can upgrade a unique skill to rank S.

Do I have to say, the time I've been waiting for?

There was a skill to be put up.

Increases the ranking of Unique Skill Predatory.

Though I always tried to raise it first, Yoon-seok's original unique technology keeps coming back to me with several urgent issues.

"You have reached S rank.

Although at rank A, I still gave him the ability to 'harvest souls when killing creatures'...

Other than that, I never let him down.

Now, what is the final capability of Predation?

"You can select one of five effects.

Yoon-suk's eyes deepened indefinitely.

It started well.

There have been five choices so far, except for the Heart of the Ruler.

Even a single object technique that has not been synthesized with anything. Somehow, I felt good as if I had been recognized by the tower.

Even if there were only one option, it would be meaningless if there were only so many of them. Yoon-suk slowly read the phrase from above.

* All Talents - When winning a duel, the target gains a random talent.

First of all, it was the kind I expected.

Skills, Equipment, Stats, Spirits.

Duel to the nature of Predation, I thought that once I reached rank S, I would not add items that can be obtained as a duel.

"Talent... ’

Yoon-suk paused and touched his chin.

Abilities, skills, and power.

In the tower, there are those who say, "What's the use of talent?"

However, the opinion of Yoon-suk is slightly different.

If you can get the swordsmanship of the Heavenly Horse and the Iron King, you will gain much more than a few stats.

It is also likely that what talent means is not just that one-dimensional.

Talents that penetrate the essence of things, talents that penetrate the mind of people, etc. There are so many talents in this world to help.

The more talent you accumulate, the more active you'll be in any situation.

‘But this is not what I was expecting. ’

I didn't like the fact that it wasn't the most useful talent and it was random.

Yoon-suk then read the next option as well.

* Subject: Dead - Changes the harvested soul to the desired type of points.

Area point.

Exploration DP (dungeon point).

Mission point (MP).

From the achievement store to the available legend points (LPs) and wish points (WPs) for purchasing power.

The organizer was simply able to allow the soul obtained by rank A effects to be exchanged for any point.

Was this the main one? ’

Experience suggests that among the S rank options, there was one main ability that matched the concept. And intuitively, Yoon-suk realized that this was it.

He will, too. If you don't choose this ability, the A rank effect you get will be meaningless.

“ ……. ”

Yoon-suk swallowed the sob.

If it had been before, he would have chosen this ability without seeing it again.

However, things are different now.

AP is‘ Pioneering ’and' Tactical ', and WP is' Heart of the Ruler '.

There is a point that is lacking, but as there are other alternatives, the relative value of light is inevitable.

Yoon-suk took hold first and moved on to the next.

* Dreamer: In a duel, the dreamer absorbs a portion of the opponent's memory.

As soon as I saw it, I felt like crap.

The benefits of absorbing memories?

I thought of a few things for sure, but I didn't have to choose this for it.

‘Is it because I'm too excited...? ’

You can delete Duel Cooldown, or you can import two skills at once.

I don't want that.

I have already checked more than half of the five options, but there was no major attraction.

‘But there are still two left.... ’

Yoon-suk read the rest of the options later, even though he was disappointed.

And I had a smile on my mouth that was getting stiffer.

* Obtain the random power of the opponent when the opponent wins the duel.

The part I had hoped for finally came out.

An all-powerful feast.

Even though it's random…….

"Technical Synthesis", "The Law of the Witch", etc. Given the fraud of the powers purchased from El, it's much more valuable than stats or equipment.

Yoon-suk collected WP day and night to gain such power.

‘Good.'

Thanks to this, Yoon-suk was able to comfortably move on to the last remaining option.

* Hunter - sees the unseen. If you choose this ability, you can select another S-rank effect.

The last option was of a similar kind to the unbreakable.

Hunters?

I smiled for some reason.

Yoon-suk knows that the tower was meant to kill the Queen.

And this kind of ability is something that you have to take with you to achieve that goal. The intent was so hostile as to avoid this ability in the first unique technology.

From the Tower's point of view, you're just a Hunting Dog who's finally a challenger.

‘That's funny.'

Yoon Seok's mouth curled up and his tail became cold.

Unique skills are given new abilities.

Which one is the most strained after the hunt?

You will find out one day.

However, Yoon-suk instinctively felt it.

That time will soon come.

* * *

Predatory

Rank S - See the invisible. When winning a duel, the user gains random power from the target.

There was no defect.

Apart from how he felt about the tower, Yoon-suk chose "hunter," and then "denier."

To see the unseen.

This was the sharp tooth the tower gave to the hounds.

So I didn't have to.

A sharp tooth won't be enough to dig out the queen's neck.

“ ……. ”

Finally, Yoon-suk finished the restructuring due to this schedule.

I was quite satisfied.

It's a pity that I didn't choose the 'organizer’, so the A rank effect turned out to be useless…….

If you think about it, there must be a place to use it other than the ‘Organizer’, as it was a fixed ability, not an option.

‘Then let's go. ’

After that, Yoon-suk returned to Earth.

Lee Su-yeon, who had left to go on a mission or explore for a while, still hadn't come back.

I didn't worry much.

She's really good at what she does.

“Welcome.”

Yoon-suk returned to Earth and ate the ‘precious things' that Ashton had collected from all over the world.

The final tally was 3.8 million WP.

Somehow, El's "future poetry" gathered enough to buy a lump sum, so there was no excuse to delay meeting her anymore.

However, Yoon-suk decided to settle this just one last time before meeting El.

“This picture has been restored. ”

It's only been a day since I asked if I could recover the painting I got from Duke Karpine.

I don't know what kind of magic he did, but I found Yoon Seok again with the restored painting.

“ ……. ”

Carefully handed over the painting, Yoonseok slowly rolled the cloth over.

Dark red hair and white robes.

It was a portrait of El as expected.

Yoon-suk couldn't hide his bitter smile as soon as he saw it.

‘Is this what I looked like when I first met you……. ’

Looking at the naked necktie and round eyes in the picture, it looked exactly like when I was stalking Kanna on the eighth floor of the mission.

Before being dragged away by the Treshon Prisoners and plucked out their eyes and went through all sorts of troubles. The ten-year-old girl in the picture smiled brightly.

“ ……. ”

Was it a lifetime influence?

Yoon-suk felt eaten somehow.

At the same time, I heard a familiar voice, bent as if my eyes had been clear and submerged.

- Are you looking at the painting again?

The memory of Rick Gersei begins.
